The United State is concerned about Iranian warships docking in Rio de Janeiro

The arrival of two Iranian warships in Rio de Janeiro authorized by the Brazilian government has prompted rebukes from both Israel and the US. Israel’s foreign relations ministry spokesperson, Lior Haiat, wrote on Twitter that “Brazil should not grant any prize to a malign state.”
US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said that Washington is discussing the issue with Brazilian partners and that it wants to ensure Iran “is not able to acquire a foothold, is not able to take advantage of others in our hemisphere.”

The IRIS Makran and IRIS Dena ships are authorized to stay in Rio until March 4, and the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated both ships for sanctions last month. Brazilian officials have not yet commented on the statements from Israeli and American officials.

The trip comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and the West over the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and as Iran enriches uranium to closer to weapons-grade levels.

Iranian officials have portrayed the trip as challenging America’s influence in its own backyard, which has been a point of contention as Tehran continually criticizes the presence of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet in the region. Iran also faces nationwide protests and anger after the September death of Masha Amini, a woman who died after being detained by the country’s morality police.

In the time since those demonstrations, Tehran has tried to flex its military elsewhere.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made international diplomacy a feature of his second presidential term, which ended in 2010. That included attempting to broker a nuclear deal between the US and Iran during his second presidential term that same year, though talks ran aground.

Elected in October to return to the presidency, Lula quickly traveled to Washington last month to demonstrate his alignment with President Joe Biden. Biden’s special climate envoy John Kerry was also in Brazil’s capital this week to discuss collaboration to protect the Amazon rainforest.

US Senator Ted Cruz has noted that the US has already sanctioned the two Iranian warships, and Rio de Janeiro’s port and any Brazilian service providers are now at risk of sanctions. He added that “The Biden administration is obligated to impose relevant sanctions, reevaluate Brazil’s cooperation with US antiterrorism efforts, and reexamine whether Brazil is maintaining effective antiterrorism measures at its ports.”

  5. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, they will host Chippa United to open the 2022–23 DStv Premiership season on August 7 at 17:30.
